The Marionette’s Song
My limbs are light, my hands are free,177Please respect copyright.PENANAVY2qFbY6mA
yet unseen strings still tether me.177Please respect copyright.PENANAWt9a4e1UDP
I dance, I bow, I play my part,177Please respect copyright.PENANADQ8gBy3fKb
a silent tune within my heart.
The puppeteer, with hollow eyes,177Please respect copyright.PENANALWWFuQTPky
tilts his head and pulls the ties.177Please respect copyright.PENANA9q9ihvwjdN
I twist, I turn, I rise, I fall,177Please respect copyright.PENANAnHgYEnPOK0
a willing slave, a willing thrall.
And though I try to break away,177Please respect copyright.PENANA8XRFEWJPkk
the strings remain—I beg to stay.
